Let's go with a confession as the opposite of not taking risks.
My wound festered inside me --
I kept it hidden out of fear
Others would deride me --
I felt the fatal spear
But to keep my reputation
My decision was clear --
With some trepidation
I spoke up at the last second
To accept my damnation --
As death calmly beckoned
I chose a new light to guide me.
The best choice -- I reckoned.
